Courtland Sutton’s offseason away from the Broncos continues. The veteran wide receiver was not in Denver for the first week of organized team activities. He also skipped the opening phases of the Broncos’ offseason workouts, which began in mid-April.

Aurora police shot and injured a man suspected in an attempted homicide at a condo complex near Expo Park on Thursday.

Aurora and Denver officers had tracked the man to 384 South Ironton St.

Zach Wilson’s second act has begun. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 draft is off and running with the Broncos and now, like the rest of his teammates, is through the first week of organized team activities.

Gabe Landeskog is confident he’ll return … at some point. When that will be remains very much to be determined. At one point during an end-of-season press conference sitting alongside general manager Chris MacFarland, the Colorado Avalanche captain asked when training camp for the 2024-25 season is going to start. “Between mid-September and the start of April,” Landeskog joked. Landeskog and MacFarland met with the media for nearly an hour Thursday.
